This chunk of wood had a nice little surprise waiting for me. Woodturning isn't always a straight forward kind of thing. We must adapt, improvise, and overcome the challenges as they present themselves. This is how I dealt with a bit of trouble.
Thanks for the burl, Michael Dowd! And thanks to your son Neil Dowd, who kindly delivered it to me in person.

A budget friendlier laser engraver, and possibly more knives and flashlights... carving tools too? We shall see. I'll do my best to make them entertaining and informative.

The great thing about crafts, any craft, is that when things don't go exactly to plan, is how to use your skills, flexibility and imagination to find a way to come up with a suitable response, and make art out of broken. Nice result.

@brendagoodman3222 Год назад

Good job. Shows your wonderful talent.

@RHumphrey Год назад

Thank you, Grant, I appreciate that!

@fnafplayer6447 Год назад

Exactly, I did that with my 3 stack pumpkin project, the side split diagonally while I was chiseling it but decided then to sand so they all look like it.

New subscriber. Enjoyed the video and thanks for the Word. Semper Fi

@bert7548 Год назад

Yes in my training as a cabinetmaker I was told that the real skill is how to correct your mistakes, I also turn wood and have spent many hours turning unstable wood, I gave that up as I got older it didn't seem to be worth the effort or the time and the piece wasn't easy to sell. I love oak and turning it , it waxes and oils great and age well too

@disco4535 Год назад

One of my favorite parts about these wood turning projects is the fact that the ugly, broken, rotten looking spots or parts end up being what gives that piece it's unique beauty. When done correctly of course. The epoxy really helps!

@bettysanborn1991 Год назад

Sounds like most humans.

@RHumphrey Год назад

Thanks very much, Disco!

@oakfat5178 Год назад

Impressive save there! it made me wonder what solutions turner had before resin was invented. I'm sure they didn't throw away hours of work without their own tricks and fixes.

@lenshandcraftedwoodsigns6033 2 месяца назад

I love to see how mistakes and issues are overcome. I think it looks great.

@BWGPEI Год назад

Your ability to overcome adversity is an inspiration. Maybe I should try wood turning again this in the summer when my work space is warm enough to tolerate - the joys of a Canadian winter and old joints, grin.

@jbarrow8081 Год назад

Love how you chat through your videos sir. So helpful to someone like me who is less than a novice at this point. Much appreciated.

@ellengraham4677 Год назад

Well Rod my friend you fought hard and didn't let it beat you. I wouldn't expect anything else from you. I truly love this piece probably because it tested you so much and you didn't give in. I'm a bit odd sometimes but that's me,take care stay safe.love to the boss ( susan).😘😁🙏🙏

@jeremymenning56 Год назад

Nice job pushing through the set backs. Totally heard you when you said, "It tested my patience." It's a very nice piece. Usually one thinks of oak and it's pretty vanilla but this piece has a lot of character and grain variation.

@RHumphrey Год назад

Thanks very much, Jeremy! 😊

@smitm108 Год назад

Wonderful outcome. I very much enjoy watching video of a “save”. Thank you for posting …

@jefferymccaleb7536 Год назад

Beautiful bowl and excellent video on how to correct problems while turning. Non- turners just don’t realize the time you can put into 1 bowl. Great job!😊

@PohlBarnProductions Год назад

I see you had one of those project this week also ! you've done a great job of repairing it and getting it finished, I'm not actually a fan of Oak, but the colors in this piece are great and I really like it, Thumbs up as always !

@picksalot1 Год назад

Without conquering challenges, we'd all be mediocre at best. Good job. 👍

@oldsarj Год назад

Wonderful grain, and a good solution to a 'knotty' problem. Thanks. I learned something today.

@melinda8700 Год назад

The bowl is beautiful!!! The blue accent turned out great.

@deniseoliansky825 Год назад

Amazing grain and colors in that wood. And a great save!!

@TurningStarkers Год назад

Thanks for the pro tip hack on drilling straight. I keep learning watching your RU-vid videos Thanks heaps

@tomdoyle5579 2 месяца назад

Glad I found this. I was given an almost identical burl a couple of months ago with the filed center. I’m planning on making knife handles from it. Nice to know more about what to expect!

@randykniebes5364 Год назад

I have had a few fly aways myself!!! Thanks for the limb burl!!!!

@jaybeliever1479 Год назад

I'd say for a gnarly piece of wood, it turned out pretty good! Thanks for the video.

@tailher1 Год назад

Never would have done the five minute. That piece of wood was way too beautiful to accommodate that flaw. I'm doing one of these burles exactly as yours except maybe a little bigger and I sliced mine ninety degrees from how you sliced yours. Have a good one, Marine.

@samhackney5977 Год назад

I this this bowl turned out just fine! Nice save with the resin. Thanks

@TheMessyStudio Год назад

Looks very nice, Top! Glad you were able to repair it!

@sonyhk3824 Год назад

You make it with the perfect way. Cheers Rod 👍

@JonRenner Год назад

These rescued bowls are my favorites, and you did a masterful job with this one.

@hermanwurtz5391 Год назад

Looks awsome

@brenturquhart7090 Год назад

I’m glad you were able to save this from going into the fireplace. Any wood that has a pattern as beautiful as this deserves to be admired for generations to come. My grandpa always said Mother Nature was the best artist in the world.

@johnfogg7858 Год назад

When life gives you lemons, pour resin on them and make them into a beautiful work of art. You are an inspiration!

@johnpiper8709 Год назад

Impress how you recovered ,which I probably put in the firebox, I never gave it a chance to come out looking such a nice piece. Well done. Then thats experience of you being a professional and me a amateur and I watch these videos to pickup these tips . Well done, I learnt a lot tonight. I'll be back for more. Love your channel. Cheers, John. New Zealand

@dougk5456 Год назад

Looks good!! Mother nature on display.

@LozP_444 Год назад

Well Done and nice job 😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻It’s good to see that you didn’t give up on it, that would have been the easy way out! I feel extremely Blessed to have come across this video and yourself! It’s good that you give a commentary on what you’re doing, you’re the 1st person as a Wood Turner to do this on You Tube so Thank You x a Zillion for that! I look forward to watching more of your talented works!! Blessed Be 💫🙏🏻💫

@DavidScheetz-xx5bj Месяц назад

Very nice. Improvise, adapt, and overcome!

@imxploring Год назад

The wonderful thing about odd or "difficult" pieces of wood is that they might not become an anticipated object... but with some skill and creativity they become beauful pieces of art. The grain alone inside this piece was worth the effort.

@robinshay9180 Год назад

Rod, challenge met and, concord! Another masterpiece. The contrasts are so pretty. As always, hugs to Sue! ❤️

@RHumphrey Год назад

Thank you so much, Robin! Hug delivered!

@philatterbury5743 Год назад

Great counsel for all; especially for the chosen!

@setphaser Год назад

It’s so cool to look at the wood from the inside and see this angle!

@tonidoyle6951 Год назад

If I had not seen some of these woodturning videos, I wouldn't believe that something so beautiful could result from something so rough. You guys are so talented (and patient).

@curiousworld7912 Год назад

Right? :)

@kobiekaasjager4822 Год назад

Hi Rob it looks like you were caught in a dust storm. It is beautiful.

@scottblair8625 Год назад

When you grabbed it and started turning it on bench. I was waiting for Billy Gibbons face to be where bald patch was! 😂 That lump looks like his hat

@debradavis9331 Год назад

I think it is a beautiful bowl. How you bring the beauty of this gift from God is amazing

@jimcase5841 Год назад

Great bowl and better verse. Just shared that earlier in week with my buddies. Thanks for sharing.

@tinaharbit1806 Год назад

That grain is stunning! Good save. The resin is a nice touch. You earned a new subscriber

@DoloresJNurss 2 месяца назад

That gorgeous grain that you coaxed into view was well worth the trouble--thank you for having the patience to uncover it! (And yes, that scripture is especially meaningful these days, when we all feel tempted to take pride in our wrath!)

@utek3420 Год назад

The imperfection is exactly what makes it perfect! Nice job turning a flaw into an asset.

@danellabarnes-penman1118 Год назад

Great save, Buddy! It IS perfect! You were able to use this beautiful burl and show off how beautiful it is!

@twisterdude100 Год назад

improvise adapt and overcome! beautiful!

@chrisjohnston2449 Год назад

Nice save. Burls are always worth the extra effort.

@jackknows6509 26 дней назад

@dougmajor381 Год назад

Nice Recovery ! Way to adapt and over come , some intestinal fortitude ,right there!!!

@tomlynchsr2075 Год назад

Not sure why RU-vid put this in my feed, but I'm glad it did, and I enjoyed watching this. Thank you!.

@katzeyez06 Год назад

Beautiful piece. The imperfections are what makes it unique.

@mariedriskell8752 Год назад

Thanks for showing us it can be done. It in fact turned out BEAUTIFUL 😍 THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME.

@melissabarron1574 Год назад

Never disappoint! Thank you Sir

@alwignot3584 Год назад

Such a promising looking burl at the onset..but you improvised and overcame..well done hoorah!

@chocolatefrenzieya Год назад

Ha! Loved the little angry face! Burls always have such beautiful patterns. I can't believe how pretty the little splots of blue turned out!

@cindyharris3731 Год назад

Way to adapt and overcome the issues that grumpy burl gave you!!!

@MANJITSINGH-ko2oi Год назад

OMG wow that burl is so so beautiful. weldone. love it loads.

@DennisDolan-fl3mw 2 месяца назад

Despite all the issues, it still turned out great.

@Jack-pj8bu 6 месяцев назад

Well done! Each burl is a learning experience, no matter how many have been turned.

@johndieckmann3463 Год назад

Job well done. I knew as soon as I saw the scowl in that piece of wood that you were going to have trouble. Lol. But you persevered and overcame.. very nice piece of oak there.

@jeanlong5965 Год назад

It fought a good battle but you won. It is a beautiful bowl. I really like the colors in the grain.

@steveauer413 4 месяца назад

Burls are definitely "a box of chocolates " as Forrest said. Mine flipped off twice! It's still on the lathe. I haven't figured out how to epoxy it. Worth the effort, beautiful job.

@jeanlong4285 Год назад

I don't know how I missed this video from 3 months ago. The grain is beautiful and you did a great job saving this amazing bowl.

@med1pilot1956 Год назад

Beautiful piece and one helluva nice save with that branch.

@CumberlandRiverCreations Год назад

To find the beauty in imperfections is a true measure of the finders soul.. wonderful piece.

@carsonwells1785 Год назад

Anyone can turn an easy bowl. Well, almost anyone, but that bowl speaks volumes about it's craftsman, and every word is complimentary. Great work, great persistence and magnificent result. I'll be looking forward to your next video.

@carolriley8472 Год назад

Love the grain of the wood!

@Sebastopolmark Год назад

Quite honestly, I like it better AFTER the "left exit"! !! !!! Came out great

@debbi6224 Год назад

Great save, beautiful bowl!

@roomold9531 7 месяцев назад

Great save of a very pretty bowl! Well done

@maddieadams75 Год назад

Beautiful, I love this piece. It’s amazing the transformation ❤ thanks Rod

@jamesmcnamara2850 Год назад

Great work, Marine!…..Semper Fi!

@dhlarsen8810 Год назад

It’s flaws are apparent, but the complexity if the grain and the contrast between the light and dark woods really captures the soul of the burl you started with. Can the flaws even be called flaws or should it just be considered part of the texture of the piece. The blue accent is a testimony to the skill you brought to the final product.

@ellenyager9577 Год назад

Great save! I love that you used blue, my fave color, to stabilize the branch area, thereby being able to finish the bowl! Amen to your Food for Thought! God bless you and Semper Fi!

@SilverBack. Год назад

Rod well saved it turned out great, Congratulations

@TheJkaeser Год назад

Very nice piece. Problem pieces make for better turnings. As always you come through.

@alangibb3100 2 месяца назад

That was a great recovery there buddy, the wood has some lovely grain in it to. Per Mare Per Terram

@Paleoman52 Год назад

Awesome save on that Burl! I really enjoyed this video, the bowl came out beautifully!

@YsabetJustYsabet Год назад

Love it; burl bowls are so amazing, and you made something strong and beautiful from a chunk of oak that was clearly out to *get* you.

@jayscott306 Год назад

I like it. A very busy grain pattern, but captivating. Nice final piece, Rod. I must say that I do not know how you guys do it. Dealing with the trolls. I expect Mr. Waste of Nails and Epoxy to get his rude self back here to compliment you saving the piece with your work on this one. Guess I made the mistake of reading the comments. All I know is the free education and entertainment you all provide us is invaluable and not deserving of some of the garbage you have to deal with. Thank you, from the rest of us.

@usergonemad Год назад

The various imperfections and repairs only add to the visual interest of the finished piece. Very nice work!

@jakes9708 Год назад

l like this burl! You know, it's exciting!

@sanderson9846 Год назад

This project reminds me of how God takes our sometimes rough outer appearances, or the scars and flaws we've buried deep inside, sometimes both, then slowly breaks them down to reveal our true beauty, and refines us into a masterpiece for His glory. Thank you for unexpected lesson as I sit down to write my proclamation of God's Word (sermon) for this Sunday.

@carijohnson8818 Год назад

I am so glad your persevered, because that wood is gorgeous ♥️♥️♥️

@rayworstine4399 Год назад

Good evening, Rod. I like this rescue bowl. Definitely a challenge, we have that in life. "Exit stage left." Staying the course, fighting the fight, not giving up. Looks like a win to me. Good scripture. Semper Fidelis

@robertjanscha6483 Год назад

Great job with a difficult piece of wood. Looks good!

@theangrywoodturner9972 Год назад

Rod that's what I like about wood turning is solving problems and very seldom do I give up on a piece. That's how we learn...

@blunderbuss9927 Год назад

Saving that limb definitely makes the bowl stand out. The multiple contrasts in wood colors throughout the piece, inside and out, just make the whole thing quite beautiful. The blue resin holding the limb in the bottom gives it a an almost ethereal appearance when you look down into it, just topping off all of the other contrasts. Adapt and overcome for sure.

@RHumphrey Год назад

Thanks very much!

@lyndaowen2154 Год назад

Even with the difficulties, I think it still turned out nice

@jackthompson5092 Год назад

It turned out very beautiful Rod.

@justjulee9135 Год назад

I think it's gorgeous! After a few hiccups, it turned out beautifully! Burl grain is the best!

@melissabelding7546 Год назад

Beautiful. Thank you for persevering through a difficult piece.

@fredgilliver1821 Год назад

Ron I would be more than proud to make a bowl as good as that. Fantastic RON

@drgruber57 Год назад

Kind of like God working with us. Plenty of imperfections, but He patiently keeps working with us to bring about a beautiful result. Looks good Rod!

@billmaxwell640 Год назад

Great info…not every blank is solid and whole. I have harvested an 8 year old red oak root ball (30” diameter) cut into 4 to 6 inch slabs which has unveiled a treasure of burl-like grain but with a scattering of faults. This going to be a winter of blanks, rough turns and epoxy but should yield dozens of bowls, art pieces ( and maybe kindling) and immense amounts of joy and satisfaction…..plus some $ I hope. You just reminded me that they don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful!

@harrykeel8557 Год назад

Oh man, you weren't kidding. That was a very nasty surprise. I have a bowl blank some where in my shop now that I put several pours of epoxy resin in so I could turn it. Oak makes a very pretty bowl, but it is hard as a rock, except hickory, which I am using only for handles. Enjoyed the video, stay safe.
